Thanks for the info. I use zsh suffix aliases, so I don't need to worry about "MS Windows" file associations. If you use zsh and set suffix aliases in your zsh startup file, such as ~/.zshenv
Then all you have to do to view you file is $ logo.jpg #zsh will see the jpg suffix and find the application that you associated with it in your ~/.zshenv file. This is to me more portable, in that I don't have to rely on "MS's" hash or data structures... You would need a function to as you kindly showed to change to an explicitly different application (picture studio in your example.). Regards On 12/21/06, zzapper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
